I like to be well informed before I take a position on anything of importance. Therefore I can neither be for nor against the power grid without more information. I will impanel an exploratory committee to do some research into the subject and have them report back to me with their findings. Only then will I be of sufficient knowledge to take an informed position on the issue of being for or against a power grid.

No waffling, no flip-flopping. I'm all in favor of a power grid. Yes, you can quote me on that.

But I heard the Koch brothers were in favor of the power grid?

Power that's been stacked up neatly in a dedicated grid is so much better than loose power strewn all over the place.
